It seems Sonic CD is the most divisive game in the classic series: some praise it as the best 2-D Sonic game, whereas others believe this is classic Sonic at his worst. I find myself somewhere in the middle. I love this game for its ambition. But the execution of its unique ideas leaves much to be desired. Ultimately, I think Sonic CD is less than the sum of its parts.

Sonic CD is a bit of a weird game, and I didn't really know what to think of it. Luckily, there is a plethora of excellent analysis on it on YouTube. I want to give a special thanks to the following content creators: Scott the Woz, RelaxAlax, The Geek Critique, and King K. Their Sonic CD videos, among other things, were very informative, and helped me put my own Sonic CD video together. Thanks a ton, gents! I'll link their videos below, in case you wanted to check them out too!

Lastly, I know some of you may be very interested in the music I used for this - Sonic CD's soundtrack is indeed legendary! Below are the songs, in order of appearance.
1. Collision Chaos - Past (JP)
2. Quartz Quadrant - Present (JP)
3. Palmtree Panic - Past (JP)
4. Palmtree Panic - Present (JP)
5. Palmtree Panic - Good Future (JP)
6. Palmtree Panic - Bad Future (JP)
7. Tidal Tempest - Present (US)
8. Tidal Tempest - Present (JP)
9. Cosmic Eternity (JP)

Thanks everyone for watching. This was actually a lot of fun to put together, once I finally decided to get it done. I'm looking forward to giving Sonic 3 & Knuckles the same treatment.
